| Just wanted to confirm that, yes, a bouncy walk is recognized as a symptom of AS. Straight-legged, stilted walking is as well. Like most AS symptoms, only some of us have it; others don't. I don't have a bouncy walk but I am pigeon-toed. Funny thing is that I wasn't born like that. It actually deve... |

I just joined! I just made a country where all anyone thinks about is money. That's it, just money. Apparently, my government is "corrupted". lol  |

| I have always liked shows geared towards little kids (Caillou, Charlie and Lola, Clifford's Puppy Days, etc.). I'm seventeen years old and it's been the exact same way for me since I was a little kid. I also still enjoy playing pretend games. I've actually gotten some of my friends to enjoy that, to... |

| And yet another reason for me to want an Ipod! My mom is so frugal about everything. I'm seventeen and she just now got me a cell phone! At least when I do get something and have to wait a long time, it's always the nicest model. Anyway, I'd be sort of afraid of losing or breaking an Ipod that small... |

| I first discovered it in 1996 back when my mom would often take me to work. She would let me go on some of her employees' computers and use their internet. Anyway, we didn't get internet at our house until 1998. So like the title says, what year did you first discover the internet? |

| I think definently Ray from "Uptown Girls". She's extremely smart, she tends to keep to herself, she likes everything done in an exact order, she does seem to have an obsession with ballet, and so on and so forth. I'm also thinking possibly London from "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody". She does hav... |

Anyway, we were all interrupted that morning when the teacher had wheeled in the TV. She didn't say anythin... |

| Let's see... Last night I watched War of the Worlds, talked on the phone, ate a hotdog, baked a cake, watched Disney Channel, and fell asleep. I know, I know, it's really exciting... However, this next Saturday I'm going to my school's homecoming dance so that should be fun. |

Trust me, I'm so bad at faces that I can be best friends with someone for two years and not even recognize them. And people are constantly say... |

Nowadays, I can predict trends that won't even come into play for another two years. I am constantly getting asked where ... |

| Yes, it is actually. Lightning McQueen is a 2005 custom-Pixar car while I have a 2005 Hyundai Accent. I do take good care of my car, but I don't really use it a lot since I only have a permit. I want to get my liscense in a month or two, though, since I'll have to get on the bus as early as 6:30 AM ... |
